Perhaps you have seen .edu backlinks being sold. In this thread, I would like to give some tips to find .Edu sites.

While all the websites obtained might not make it possible to post a link or a comment, I still believe that this method is to be used with moderation.

1 - Go to google
2 - Type in the search box:

"your keyword" inurl:blog site:.edu

Alternatively, you could type:

site:.edu inurl:blog "your keyword" "comment"

The results might not be many if your keyword is nichy. In general, I find it better to go for broad keywords.

One of the querry mentionned earlier [site:.edu inurl:blog "fitness training" "comment"] led me to find 77 results according to google.

This is very useful for anyone that is building back links. If you don't understand back links, just let me tell you that any that you can get from a .edu, have a much greater value of link juice then just about any other back link that you can get.

But as the writer of the thread has said, you need to grow these slowly, or you will get slapped by the search engines for unnatural growth of your back links.

Great post and love to see people helping others.

Thanks a lot Ken. It was my first day posting on the BetterNetworker forum. I also take what you said as welcome message.

Thanks a lot for your advices. It can be easy to make a new website loose its position in Google rather fast.

Well, as they are .edu then most of them would have good PR, but the only problem is that how many of them would be providing 'dofollow links, if they are nofollow then I would not be so interested to put a comment there.

There are different views on the subject of dofollow/nofollow backlinks. Personally, I don't give much importance to finding dofollow links.
